Hattie B’s – Nashville, TN
If you’ve followed our adventures for a while, you know that I fell in love with Nashville hot chicken back in 2013. Since that first visit to Prince’s, we’ve been back there three times and tried it in several places here. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t the only one involved in this love affair. […]
Bolton’s Spicy Chicken & Fish – Nashville, TN
One of the other places on the “hot chicken” list, since before we went to Prince’s, was Bolton’s Spicy Chicken and Fish. But the thing here is about the fish, not the chicken. Sadly, the storefront above is their “old” building, as there is a relatively new building out back. Inside the new building, there’s […]
OddBird – Atlanta, GA
For the last couple of months, I’ve been meaning to get to OddBird, the restaurant within a restaurant serving dinner in the West Egg space. There were a couple of hindrances – it is dinner only and only open Wednesday – Saturday. But I was drawn in by two words: “hot chicken”. Hot chicken is […]
Hop’s Chicken – Atlanta, GA
Finally, Ponce City Market is (sort of / mostly) open. At least, some of the food places and stores are. Over last weekend our daughter sent us a text from H&F Burger, along with a survey of what was open. So when Friday night rolled around and we were headed to dinner with another […]
Gus’s Fried Chicken – Atlanta, GA
For the last fifteen years, I’ve been wanting to try Gus’s Fried Chicken, in Memphis. We had been to Memphis a couple of times over that span, but the chicken encounter never seemed to happen. This fascination all goes back to reading, somewhere, that they had the best fried chicken in America. A couple of […]
Revival – Decatur, GA – CLOSED
THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED. We had been excitedly anticipating the open of Kevin Gillespie’s Revival for months, shortly after we first heard of its opening. About three weeks back, our youngest sent me a text that they were opening that week and we set a date and made reservations. Located in a home from the […]
Three Blind Mice – Lilburn, GA
On this Saturday evening, we were out roaming around, ultimately heading toward Suwanee. As we were on the northwest side of Atlanta as late afternoon approached, I remembered that I had a restaurant on my list (AJC’s Spring Dining Guide, from 2012) in Lilburn that I had never made it, too. Lilburn is definitely not […]
Dooky Chase’s Restaurant – New Orleans, LA
In conversation with several of the folks I work with, I had mentioned that we were going to Willie Mae’s for lunch on Friday. Several said “if you’re going to Willie Mae’s for chicken, you really need to go to Dooky Chases’s Restaurant“. So after roaming around several of the suburbs on a shopping expedition, […]
Willie Mae’s Scotch House – New Orleans, LA
Willie Mae’s Scotch House has been on my “to-try” list on the last half dozen trips to New Orleans, but business concerns haven’t aligned with the ability to get there. I first read about it in Garden & Gun’s “100 Southern Foods You Absolutely, Positively Must Try Before You Die”, several years back and today, […]
Zesto – Atlanta, GA
One day you look around and you realize that you’ve never said a word about someplace that you may eaten at all of your life. So, here goes. First, it’s Zesto – not Zesto’s, as most people (including me) say. They’ve been open, in Atlanta, since 1949, with four locations here (and one in Tyrone) […]
